Don’t think so - I had an LSAC fee waiver last year and still had to pay that fee dispite the actual app fees being waived. Also, CSS price last year was $30 … did it go DOWN in price?
It’s Cornell’s first year using CSS, and they said they are working on getting waivers in place next year fwiw. I think of it as the cost of doing business, since everyone who’s filling one out is already admitted (i.e., don’t see the use of filling one out pre-admission).
